DB and Frangipani....The fact they've worked together before/know each other is a big factor.
Wouldn't be the first time, I've seen someone take a completely different role to what they've been doing, as a change of pace.
Maybe Steve enjoys that kind of work more?
With that and the job opening, it looks pretty clear to me, that it's sayonara Steve..
I wonder,.....as well. Company's play semantic word games all the time, but is Chief Marketing Manager the same as Product Marketing Manger ?
In my world they are NOT the same. My hope is that as they ramp up into a sales driven organization that they are laying the framework for a vibrant and productive sales AND marketing team. It's good to have a pipeline for future personnel needs.
I don't want him to leave. However, if he does I hope he is not planning on leaving before his big gig in Santa Clara, CA at Embedded Vision Conference 2025. But this conference may also allow him and Ramesh an opportunity to get a room and formally consummate their relationship.
The Impact of More Efficient Training and Inferencing of Large Language Models on Edge AI Applications
Date: Wednesday, May 21
Start Time: 2:05 pm
End Time: 2:35 pm
The adoption of large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs) in edge AI applications has been limited by on-device computation and memory resources, and also by the cost of training and developing large models suitable for edge applications. The adoption of new training methods and algorithms combined with innovative new model architectures promises to dramatically change the outlook for adoption with models created for the edge that can efficiently execute within SWaP and cost targets.
